Hi all!
Today I made a round in my hometown to find a EEPROM Flash chip to
substitute the original chip (to keep that one save). The problem is:
I don't know much about what chip to get.
But even worse: the shop keepers (electronics shops that is) didn't
know it either!
The original chip on the mobo is a Winbond W49F002U-12B. One of the
shop keepers told me that they had problems with substituting
Winbond chips since the mobo would try to write something to the chip
during bootup and if you don't have the right chip this would fail
and so the thing would boot only once...
So my question is: what chip do you use instead of the original
Winbond chip? The original is 2Mbit (256kB). Is it necessary to get
such a large one or is 512kBit (64kB) sufficient?
I want to program the chip in this device from
www.loet.de/flasher.html which is (at least I think so) equivalent to
be programmed in the mobo (meaning the method of programming).
TIA
